Unfortunately, you're right. Minnesota is going to be stacked with talent next year. Current roster plus Rubio (although I think he'll be a bust) but D-Williams is going to be phenomenal. If they actually have someone that can distribute the ball to those big 3, which are all great perimeter AND paint players, they're going to be scary after a few more years of experience. I'd say they're going to be on par with were OKC was this year.

Actually I wouldn't do that. Rubio is way too iffy and a risk I think. Love is great, but Monta in a package trade can get the team more than that

why we need Rubio when we got Curry? I love Rubio's game but he hasn't proven anything yet, while Ellis and D Lee do have good value and contribute. getting rid of Biedrins' contract would be a perk but it'd just become another backcourt issue.

Yeah I used to see AB at Slide with Bellinelli. Marco was so cocky it was sick, I heard later on that night he was stomping on some guys head and ran out of there.

I know that the NBA is going to be making a lot of moves this year and I'm looking forward to the league being spiced up It's amazing how much more competitive it has gotten in the last few years. I'm glad those boring days of the Nets and 76ers making the finals are over...Hell, even the Pistons were boring, too.

The Warriors don't have any combination of players, picks, trade exceptions, cash, considerations, virgins, or souls to make Minnesota ever consider trading Kevin Love. We could build a time machine and go back to 1994 and abduct Chris Webber's rookie self and the TWolves still might not make that trade. This is a guy regularly pumping out 20-point, 20-rebound games like a boy that just discovered his dick.

Minesota is on the look out for a SG. Before Rubio went down the rumor was they would go for a Ridinhour for Jamal Crawford trade. Well now they need Luke to play point with JJ Barea as backup, they are even more in need of a SG. We have several we could trade, But they don't have much that is interesting. It might be an opportunity to get rid of Wright. Trade him for Randolph. Salaries Match up and it frees up the starting SF for Klay or Rush, or even McGuire. It also frees up an extra 4 million in cap space next season. Randolph could be ok as backup PF in limited mins.

I'd do that. AR was misused when he was here to me and I'd like to see him have a real opportunity this time. Who knows, maybe he could turn into a real contributor

Eh. AR is garbage. He's been through 3 teams that couldn't find him a role; why would that change? DWright has nights of 20 points and 5 three-pointers; Randolph has never proven he could start. IMO, you're giving up talent.
